Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 207

“Which floor are you on? I’ll come check on you,” Joycelyn asked, concerned that it might be difficult for Lucy on her first day at the Grant Group. She wanted to make sure her friend was settling in okay.

Lucy thought back to the cold reception she’d received from her department colleagues that morning and, not wanting to worry Joycelyn, refused.

“I’m fine. I’m not a newbie. I can handle it,” Lucy responded confidently, her tone light.

Hearing Lucy’s calm and assured voice, Joycelyn couldn’t help but smile and feel reassured.

“If anything happens, tell me. If anyone dares to mess with you, I’ll make them regret it,” Joycelyn whispered, pretending to crack her knuckles.

“I can take on four hands with my two fists, and my mouth can curse for miles. Anyone who dares to mess with me will regret it,” Lucy said with a queenly swagger, flashing a proud look at Joycelyn.

“Alright, alright, I’m not saying anything about other places, but in the Grant Group, you’re good to go.” Joycelyn responded, impressed by Lucy’s growing confidence.

“Alright then, you’re getting more and more relaxed, I see. Show them what you’ve got!” Lucy winked at Joycelyn before turning serious and asking, “So when are you and Mr. Grant going public?”

“Can you find any photos of him online?” Joycelyn mischievously asked Lucy, raising an eyebrow.

Lucy immediately pulled out her phone, typing in Ellison’s name. She found no clear front–facing pictures, just one blurry photo of him from behind. Searching “CEO of the Grant Group” brought up a bunch of handsome faces, but none of them were Ellison.

“No photos, but I’m sure people in the high–society circles have seen him,” Lucy said, slightly disappointed.

“That’s actually better. He’s a private person, and I don’t like being too public either. The best thing is just to live in the moment. Plus, I get to enjoy all kinds of gossip about him at work,” Joycelyn said with a carefree laugh, not feeling particularly insecure about keeping things private.

“Are you afraid…?” Lucy started to ask, but then swallowed the words and said, “This is actually great. Who would guess that an ordinary office worker is actually the famous Mrs. Grant? The contrast is thrilling and exciting.”

“Are you asking if I’m afraid of being abandoned by him?” Joycelyn saw right through Lucy’s thoughts.
